Great affordable stay. Comfy bed and spacious balcony overlooking the creek. We enjoyed that the breakfast was included and cooked to order. Friendly and professional staff. Close to all the action without being trapped in traffic when you leave. Would definitely stay again!

I can't say enough good things about our stay at Sleepy Bear Motel! Property is a simple, family-owned, old-fashioned motel experience. Rooms were super clean, comfortable and complete with all the nessecities, as well as wif-fi and super cold A/C. Breakfast was made to order and served up every morning, and the hotel was very close to all the Gatlinburg attractions, but enough out of the way where you didn't have to fight lots of traffic coming and going. I honestly can't believe that we had such a great stay, given the affordable rates they offer. Highly recommend if you're looking for the best value with friendly service and clean accommodations while you explore the area!

We enjoyed the creek behind the motel. Very pretty. Motel staff was nice. The pizza place across the street was yummy. My only complaint would be there were a few ants in the bathroom. Really other than that it was good. We weren’t in our room much.
